Grilled Chicken
Grilled Chicken is a popular dish made by cooking chicken over direct heat, usually on a grill or barbecue. The chicken is often marinated or seasoned with spices, herbs, and oils to enhance flavor and tenderness before being grilled.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare The Marinade
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Marinate The Chicken
- Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 8 hours for best flavor).
Preheat The Grill
- Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill The Chicken
- Remove chicken from the marinade and place on the grill.
- Cook for 6–8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and juices run clear.
Rest And Serve
- Let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
